Sure-Flex Plus couplings are a TB Wood’s original!

Sure-Flex Plus couplings utilize EPDM, Neoprene, Hytrel™
and Urethane flexible elastomer sleeves to transmit torque
and accommodate shaft misalignment. Sure-Flex Plus
couplings have exceptional torsional flexibility, with the 4-way
flexing action absorbing virtually all types of shock, vibration,
misalignment and end float. Sure-Flex Plus couplings are an
excellent choice when low cost, high flexibility, low vibration
and easy installation are important.

Easy, Quick Installation

New!
For over 50 years, TB Wood’s has led the coupling industry
with the original TB Wood’s Sure-Flex design. And we haven’t
stopped innovating: this industry favorite just got even better.
Our new Sure-Flex Plus EPDM and Neoprene sleeves are
best-in-class for coupling performance and value. Here’s why:
Sure-Flex Plus can be installed quickly and e­ asily, thanks
to its simple design with no bolts, gaskets, covers or seals.
Alignment can be checked on the precision-machined
flanges using only a straightedge and calipers. No special
tools are needed for installation, alignment or removal.

High Torque Rating

• 30% Increased Torque Rating
Sure-Flex Plus sleeves provide longer service life in
demanding applications, reducing required maintenance
and associated replacement cost.

Longer Life
• Sure-Flex Plus Lasts Over 3X Longer than the
Competition
Extensive testing shows our sleeves outlast the imitators.
More uptime means less costly downtime.

Better Value
• Save Money Using a Smaller Coupling

 Sure-Flex Plus® Sleeve
Selection
Flexible sleeves for Wood’s Sure-Flex Plus couplings are available in four materials (EPDM, Neoprene, Hytrel and
Urethane) and in three basic constructions. Characteristics of the materials are given on page F1—4 and the various
types are shown and described here.
JE-JES-JN-JNS
J sleeves are molded EPDM rubber (E) or
Neoprene (N). They are available in one-piece solid
construction (JE, JN) or one-piece split construction
(JES, JNS). These sleeves may be used in any
Sure-Flex Plus flange within a given size.

JE, JN Types JES, JNS

E-N
These sleeves are of two-piece design with a
retaining ring. They are available in either EPDM
(E) or Neoprene (N). They may be used with any
flange within a given size. Sleeves are shown here
assembled and disassembled.

E and N Types E and N

(Assembled) (Disassembled)

H-HS-U
H (Hytrel) and U (Urethane) sleeves, designed for
high-torque applications, transmit four times as
much power as an equivalent EPDM or Neoprene
sleeve. Available in one-piece solid construction
(H or U) or two-piece split construction (HS), these
can be used only with S, C and SC flanges. They
cannot be used with J or B flanges or as direct
H or U HS replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves.

C. Determine Size using Coupling Rating Tables
1. For 860, 1160, 1750 or 3500 RPM, use table on page F1-8.

2. For other speeds, find the coupling size by calculating HP rating @100 RPM:
HP @ 100 RPM = HP x Service Factor x 100 / coupling RPM
In the table below, choose a coupling with a HP@100 rating greater than calculated above.
Example:
For 4 HP @ 55 RPM and 1.25 Service Factor:
HP @ 100 = 4 x 1.25 x 100 / 55 = 9.1
Use #11 EPDM or Neoprene or #9 Hytrel

Do not exceed a 5.2 Service Factor for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves, or 4.0 for Hytrel sleeves.

Online Selection Tools

Coupling selection program, 3-D CAD models, e-catalog, and interchange guide make selecting the right coupling

T Type J flanges sizes 3, 4 and 5 are
C E
T E manufactured of sintered carbon steel. The
powdered metal manufacturing process
provides high dimensional accuracy
and uniform material properties for high
strength. Size 6 is made of high strength
cast iron.

D H Flanges are bored-to-size for a slip fit on

D H standard shafts. The outside face of the
flange is precision machined, allowing the
surface to be used to align the coupling
without special tools.

Type J flanges can be used with EPDM

and Neoprene sleeves. Each flange has a
standard keyway, one setscrew over the
keyway and one setscrew at 90° from the
keyway.

G Spacing between internal flange hubs
equals G. Spacing between shafts should
be greater than 1/8 in. and less than L

specifying Type J flanges, the coupling

FLANGES
C1
Type B flanges are made of
T E high-strength cast iron and
are designed to accommodate
Wood’s Sure-Grip Bushings for
easy installation and removal.

C2
BUSHINGS
D F Sure-Grip Bushings offer convenient
mounting of the flange to the shaft
securely without setscrews. They
are tapered and are split through
both the bushing flange and taper
to provide a clamp fit, eliminating
wobble, vibration and fretting
corrosion. This is the same bushing
used in Wood’s sheaves and pulleys
and is readily available everywhere.

COUPLINGS
Type B Sure-Flex Plus Couplings can
use EPDM or Neoprene sleeves. Do
not use Hytrel sleeves with Type
L B couplings.
G
Spacing between internal flange
hubs equals L minus 2 times C2.
Spacing between shafts should be
greater than 1/8 in. and less than G.

D To order complete couplings,

specify coupling size with flange

Between Shaft Spacings
Selection

Spacer couplings are available for most popular Distance Between
Shaft Ends (DBSE) dimensions. Other spacings can be achieved
by mixing flanges.
To select couplings for various DBSEs, please see our
Coupling Selector Program at www.TBWoods.com/Select
The “Standard” column provides spacings using identical flanges;
the “Combination” column mixes flanges; the column headed
“Semi-Spacer” uses one flange that is not made for spacer
coupling applications and thus does not have a detachable hub.

Sure-Flex Plus® Couplings
Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
Sure-Flex Plus flanges (outer metallic parts) and sleeves (inner
elastomeric elements) come in many sizes and types. First,
determine the size and type of components being used. Check
maximum RPM values in the table below against operating
speed. Remove all components from their boxes, and loosely
assemble the coupling on any convenient surface. ((If using a
two-piece E or N sleeve, do not install the wire ring at this time.)
6
Check angular alignment with a caliper. Measure from the
outside of one flange to the outside of the other at intervals
around the periphery of the coupling. Determine the maximum
and minimum dimensions without rotating the coupling. The
difference between the maximum and minimum must not exceed
the figure given under “Angular” in the table. If a correction is
necessary, be sure to recheck the parallel alignment.

1 Inspect all coupling components and remove any protective G1 (ref)

coatings or lubricants from bores, mating surfaces and
fasteners. Remove any existing burrs, etc. from the shafts.

2 Slide one coupling flange onto each shaft using

keys where required. When using Type B flanges,
follow the instructions furnished with the Sure-Grip bushings.

3
Position the flanges on the shafts to approximately achieve
the G1 dimension shown in the table. It is usually best to
have an equal length of shaft extending into each flange. Move
one flange to its final position. Torque fasteners to proper
values. Slide the other flange far enough away to install the
sleeve. With a two-piece sleeve, do not move the wire ring to its
final position; allow it to hang loosely in the groove adjacent to
the teeth.

*Type H and HS sleeves should never be used as direct
replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves.

7 If the coupling employs the two-piece sleeve with wire

ring, move the ring into its groove in the center of the sleeve. If
necessary, use soapy water and lever the ring with a blunt tool.

8 Install coupling guards per OSHA requirements.

CAUTION: Coupling sleeves may be thrown from the coupling assembly with substantial force if subjected to a severe shock load.
